Re: HELP - BLUE SCREEN ERROR - vsdatant.sys

No, that cannot be. Just try the webinstaller as you did not have that problem. For the rest, sorry I cannot help further.
There is no ZA update site and that link is to the KB. As already mentioned there is no ZA official support for the free version.

In general a bsod or "bug check" points out an issue that is not the direct cause but what went wrong.
It has to be broken down to find the actual problem(s).
STOP: 0x0000008E is generally named a "8e'. The actual code describes the real problem. The codes following "8e" can be further broken down to point to the actual issue(s).

"8e' is more often a hard ware issue with the machines RAM. But do not rule out hard ware drivers and occasionly the BIOS. Even some rootkits/trojans can cause a bsod.
Suggest you test your memory cards!

I am testing the RAM now using memory +86, even through it passes 8 times so far without errors, I may replace a new one next week to see whether this issue continues or not. Furthermore, do you mention BIOS and rootkits/trojans? how can I confirm whether this issue is related to them or not? how to test it?

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks to everyone very much for any suggestions
